Return of Reckoning

Play a for a long Time left and right in group and solo!
Can show u when u got more question on it!

While I understand the game not being balanced around solo, etc, etc. Has anyone had any measure of success with a solo EW build? I'm not a min/max'er at all and would rather play something novel and fun to break up the monotony of the 10k crest grind. I've tried several times to make it work and understandably it never outperforms my main spec (DG ftw, all day er'y day), but I've failed.

On a side note, anyone have any reasons all things considered, why EW couldn't just debuff all offensive stats, not just mdps/tank stats?

I get what you are saying but there is no tank/mdps stats. Also Shaman has 240 toughness debuff and 240 toughness buff on Dsu. Black Orc used to have double WS buff on No choppin' me tactic which gave 240 WS buff on you + def target with follow me lead(man i miss this alot). Also Kotbs had 240str/240ws/240 Ini Runefang core lvl 15 tactic.

There used to exist much more abilities that buffed/debuffed big stats or stacking examples that RoR have changed, so if you only see 240str240ws240toughnes debuff it might feel like too much, but its fine and they should return 240 doubles WS buff on blorc and THC Shield bruiser spec back, and Kotbs should get core runefang/destroy confidence back and put Mighty soul back at 11pts glory path and kotbs is fixed.

To clarify, I was just wondering if there were good reasons that EW can't also debuff intelligence/ballistics, so that it can equally debuff the toughness and damage of all classes, not just those who do physical damage. When I said, "all things considered," that would be the fact that EW is a 13 point ability in a tree that causes a lot of sacrifices and loss of utility in order to achieve, and requires five combo points to apply a meaningful debuff....which is a lot of investment to only debuff physical damage dealers and create a toughness debuff akin to some other much easier applied class abilities, as you pointed out.
